Buying and Selling on eBay: Tips, Tricks, Problems & Questions

[Thomas J Bahama]

Can anyone recommend an Ebay consignment seller for women's clothing? I have a few LP and RLPL pieces that I would like to sell, but I doubt I could achieve the traffic required to get a good price on them by using my own account.

Today's return. It did not fit.

Welcome to my blocked buyer list, jeldridge997.

It looks like that poor shirt was stuffed into a greeting card envelope.

I'd block and then ignore. Customers finding problems after the parameters to report issues have passed are going to be a nightmare down the road. They'll try to get a partial refund, then ask again.

I might give a courtesy response along the lines of "sorry to hear that, perhaps an adjustment is needed to the snap to get it to fit" and not go further

Could a SNAD be opened at this point?

Im not sure about SNAD. In days of old, eBay would close that case in a heartbeat with the feedback left by the buyer. I’m not sure if things have changed. I have not even had a return opened in almost a year. *knocks on wood*

Bro, don't tempt the return gods. Honestly, I would probably just leave it alone. If he reaches out via messaging, then I would reply.

The day before Thanksgiving 2020, I received an unexpected refund from the company which held my domain theseamstore.com for the past 6-7 years or so. When I reached out they informed me that in June, eBay had quietly terminated all the remaining third party applications that were on the old format site, and my domain had been disconnected for a few months. Every feedback left, every message/email sent for years had used that address. Every package sent had a business card with that site on it, every advertisement, every link. Now it all just evaporates right before cyber week?

The .com was inactive, but not available, so I ended up setting up another page at theseamstore.net with WIX. A couple months passed and my mom called to tell me that the the youth pastor at her church had tried to go to my store to look at ties, and had some trouble getting to it. He was still using the .com address, and instead of neckties, he found that it had been taken over by an asian sex site.

For two years since then, my digital doppelganger has been pumping out sex using my business name.

I've been running a check with WIX every few months hoping my .com would become available, and finally this morning, it was!

Youth pastor was confused as to why his favorite Asian pron website theseamstore.com was suddenly selling ties.

Well, at least it wasn't a complete waste of his time.

I should probably pay more attention to the USPS news releases from eBay, but I didn't realize that they were doing away with Regional Rate. I used those quite often, especially the A boxes.

Oh goodie… Can we use the boxes for regular priority service?

According to what I saw, yes. It would make sense that you could just use them the same way you would any weigh and measure Priority shipment, but we know USPS and things that make sense don't always go hand in hand.
